VARIETIES OF CAVES.
Glasses Into Which Underground Spaces
May Be Divided.

Glasses Into Which Underground Spaces
May Be Divided.
The class of underground openings
nown as caverns have, in all coun-
tries and at all times, been especially
captivating to the lovers of the mar
velous; their strange architecture,
beautiful ornamentation and peculiar
inhabitants have combined to make
them attractive. To men of science
they have recently become extremely
interesting, because they throw light
on the early conditions of savage men,
and make some startling contributions
TO the facts which bear on the so-called
Darwinian theory.
The open spaces of the underground
may, at the outset of our inquiry, for
convenience, be divided into several
distinct classes: First, we have the
caverns, or the channels excavated in
limestone rocks by streams which find
their way beneath the surface. These
are by far the most extensive and most
interesting of the subterranean cham
bers. Next the channels and cham
bers followed out by the waters of hot
springs on their way from the depths
of the earth to the surface Third,
comes the sea caves, formed where the
battering surges have worn away into
the shore cliffs along the line of some
softer part of the rocks, or of an in
eipient fssure. Fourth, the cavities
curiously formed where a lava stream
has frozen or solidified on the surface,
while the liquid rock below has flowed
on or sunk back into the depths, leav-
ing the arch standing. until the matter
which originally supported it has dis
appeared. Lastly, we have the riffs
formed in the rocks which have been
rent by the Notwithstanding forces,
where the walls on either side of the
break. or. as it is termed by miners,
the fault, have been pulled apart from
each other, leaving very deep and
long, but relatively narrow, assure In
one or another of these groups we may
place all the known cavities which oc-
cur beneath the earth's surface

Tho Treasury and the Money Market.

New York independently
Those who are engaged In large business
operations, and especially spectators In
stocks, and who, hence, need to be borrow
ers to huge amounts, are, Of course, con-
etantly watching the state OF the money
market. The question whether the market
is "tight" or "easy" is to them one of car
dinal importance. Unfortunately, under
our present fiscal system, the money mar
ket In this country Is not self-regulating.
What 1t ia to be at any given time depends
largely upon the policy pursued by the
Treasury Department or the government
When the government, by customs dues
and other taxes, takes from the people Il
much larger sum than 1t disburses, and
holds the excess In the treasury In the Idle
state, the necessary result is decrease OF
money In circulation for business purposes;
ana this OF course, tends to make the mar
ket "tight.n Such is precisely the present
situation. What will Congress do when It
meets to reduce the surplus in the treasury
What will the Secretary of the Treasury do
before the meeting OF Congress to get part
OF this surplus back into the hands of the
people? These are the questions that have
been and are still asked In business circles.
We have long been of the opinion that
the intimate relation between the Treasury
Department OF the United States and the
money market OF the country Is very ab
normal one, and that 1t would be far better
for the people If the money market
operated under the general law of supply
and demand, without any reference to the
policy of the treasury. The ordinary laws
Of trade would then govern the supply OF
money, just as they do the supply OF any
thing else; and the treasury would simply
collect and disburse the public money,
which is quite enough for 1t to do. Under
our present fiscal system we are confronted
with this fact: That when business is most
active, and the people most want mooey
for It's transaction, the treasury abstracts
the largest amount Of money from popular
use. The tendency OF such a system is to
embarraes trade, especially II the money
thus Withdrawn is not speedily returned t.

under whose operation unexampled prosperity
and thrift have blessed tho land, and hold
that any changes to be made In the tariff laws
should be made by the friends Of those laws

iusted as to raise revenue sufficient for All

crnment for the payment of the public debt,
for the development of national resources,
and for national defense; but any reduction
should be so made as not to impair the pros

must be preserved to the products of American
labor and capital, aud protected from foreign
